Walk into the woods. Dive into the water. Make a wish. Meet your fate. Within Root Rot and Other Grim Tales, Bram Stoker Award-winning author Sarah Read delivers cautions and disturbances across 18 grim tales. Prepare to inherit stories of fossil-haunted houses, of doorways to the afterlife. In the woods, learn of vengeful wolves and women. In the water, discover shipwrecks stuck in time, Devonian monsters, and islands where your father loved to fish—and where your future hangs in balance.
